Anna Friel sent dad pornographic images by mistake

British actress Anna Friel was left red faced when she accidentally sent her father pornographic images while researching a role.

The “Pushing Daisies” star will play Jean Raymond, the wife of porn baron Paul Bradley, in new movie “The Look of Love” and she made the embarrassing error while trying to send her father images of Jean.

She tells Britain’s Easy Living magazine, “I sent an email to my dad with some pictures of Jean Raymond. He called me afterwards and said, ‘I think you’re going a bit far on this one’.

“I wondered what he meant and then I realized I’d sent him an email attachment of an actual porn shoot that Jean did – I mean, everything. I was mortified.”
